    Ingredients

    • nonstick cooking spray

    For Butternut Squash:

    • 4 cups cubed butternut squash (cut into ½-inch cubes)
    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon salt

    For Green Sauce:

    • 9 medium tomatillos, papery skin removed
    • 1 large poblano pepper
    • 4 large garlic cloves, unpeeled
    • 1 large onion, chopped
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil

    For Assembly:

    • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans
    • 2 teaspoons chili powder
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • ½ teaspoon oregano
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 12 corn tortillas
    • 8 ounces cream cheese
    • 1 ½ cups Monterey Jack Cheese
    • 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped
    • 1 avocado, sliced
    • 1 lime, cut into 6 wedges

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 425. Spray 2 baking sheets and a 13 x 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.

    Prepare Squash and Green Sauce:

    • Place squash on a baking sheet, then drizzle with olive oil and salt. Toss well.
    • Top the other baking sheet with the tomatillos, poblanos, garlic cloves, and onion. Drizzle with olive oil.
    • Place both baking sheets in oven on separate racks.
    • Roast vegetables for 15 minutes. Flip veggies, rotate trays, and continue roasting until all vegetables are browned and soft, about 10-15 more minutes.
    • Place poblanos in a zip top plastic bag (or a covered bowl) for about 10 minutes.
    • After 10 minutes, take poblanos out of bag, and carefully remove the seeds and as much skin as possible. Discard the stem.
    • Combine poblanos, tomatillos, garlic (remove skin), and onion, along with any juices, in a food processor. Process until smooth, then season to taste with salt, about ½ to 1 tsp. Set aside.

    Assemble Enchiladas:

    • Drain a little liquid from the top of the black beans, then combine with chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt. Mix well.
    • Stir bean mixture into roasted butternut squash (you can do this right on the baking sheet). Adjust seasoning if necessary.
    • Cover the bottom of the 9 x 13-inch baking pan with green sauce.
    • Warm tortillas one at a time in a small skillet on medium-high heat, flipping once. It should only take a few seconds; do not overcook the tortillas or they will get tough.
    • Top each tortilla as it comes out of the skillet with 1/12 of the butternut squash mixture, and 1/12 of the cream cheese.
    • Roll up tortillas and place in baking pan. Repeat process with remaining tortillas and filling ingredients.
    • Cover tortillas with remaining sauce, then sprinkle with Monterey Jack Cheese.
    • Bake enchiladas for about 20 minutes, or until hot and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
    • Serve enchiladas hot, topped with cilantro and avocado. Serve with a lime wedge. Enjoy!
